Allegations: Jeff Stoutland

Nevin Shapiro alleges that Jeff Stoutland was present when he had
impermissible contact with offensive line recruit Matt Patchan in the
summer of 2007. Among Shapiro’s allegations:

Jeff Stoutland

Position: Offensive line coach

Miami career:
Stoutland spent four seasons coaching the offensive line for the
Hurricanes, including a 2010 unit that helped lead the ACC in total
offensive yardage. After the firing of Randy Shannon, Stoutland took
over as Miami’s interim head coach for the Hurricanes’ 33-17 loss to
Notre Dame in the Sun Bowl. In January, he took over as the assistant
head coach and offensive line coach at Alabama.

• Stoutland joined a second coach, identified by two sources as
then-assistant Joe Pannunzio, at Shapiro’s $6 million Miami Beach
mansion for a recruiting pitch to offensive line prospect Matt Patchan.
The visit, which Shapiro and two sources said occurred in the summer of
2007, included Patchan, three members of the recruit’s family (his
mother, father and uncle), two Miami assistants and Hurricanes players
Robert Marve, A.J. Trump, Derrick Morse and Jason Fox.

• Shapiro said Stoutland was on hand while he gave Patchan and his
family a tour of his home and made a recruiting pitch for the
Hurricanes.

Corroborating accounts

• Two sources present at Patchan’s alleged visit to Shapiro’s home
corroborated the presence of the recruit and his family, as well as the
presence of two Miami assistants and multiple Miami players.

In Shapiro’s words

• “Jeff Stoutland I met a couple of times. He was an offensive line
coach. One time in particular he was at my house in the recruitment of
Matt Patchan, a player from Seffner. Florida, I believe. Matt Patchan
came to my house with his father and his mom and his uncle, who played
at the University of Miami. I think it was his uncle. Coach Stoutland
was just part of the recruiting visit. After that, we spoke maybe three
or four times, or whenever I would see him at team functions.”
